01The challenge

Mahindra Truck and Bus wanted to launch their new FURIO truck to the masses. Demo trucks take time to reach each city, so customers went without an actual truck experience for long stretches — and physical demos are a costly, transport-heavy exercise.

02The objective

Create a digital experience that bridges the gap between the new truck and the customer, reaching the masses in the least time possible and in a cost-effective manner.

03The solution
  • We created a virtual reality experience, coupled with affordable devices.
  • Six different 360° VR films were shot explaining various applications of the Mahindra FURIO truck, in six different languages.
  • We built an Android-based VR app to showcase these films and track the details of every customer who took the tour.
  • Deep analytics were developed to track and analyze location and usage data for production-level decisions.
  • The VR experience established itself as an integral part of mainline marketing for Mahindra FURIO.
